This installation of antiquities demonstrates the relationship of ancient art to later work, showing some of the themes, techniques, and motifs borrowed by later artists—from mythology to decorative design—and the approach to the human figure known today as the classical ideal.

Internationally recognized video artist Nicole Cohen (American, b. 1970) explores the intersection of historical interiors, the social behaviors they conditioned, contemporary popular culture, and fantasy. Her project for the Getty Museum focuses on the Museum's collection of French seating furniture and its original and museological contexts. Viewers are invited to engage in a participatory experience, forming personal, imaginative narratives through video projections that render the chairs virtually accessible.

This exhibition celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Getty Center and the growth of the drawings collection during the decade. With an emphasis on showing how and why works are selected for acquisition, the exhibition provides a glimpse into the process by which works enter the collection, as well as a compelling survey of some of the drawings acquired. Highlights include an important transfer-drawing by Gauguin, 18th-century drawings by Guardi, Canaletto, Rosalba Carriera, and the Tiepolos, and rare examples from the early German school, including works by an Upper Rhenish Master and a follower of the Housebook Master.

China on Paper: European and Chinese Works from the Late Sixteenth to the Early Nineteenth CenturyDaily through February 10, 2008Research Institute Exhibition Gallery, Getty Center

Illustrated books, prints, and maps from the special collections of the Research Library at the Getty Research Institute tell the story of mutual interest and collaborative works produced by Chinese and Europeans from the late 16th to the early 19th century. Highlights include a rare series of prints of the European Pavilions of the Yuanmingyuan, called the Garden of Perfect Clarity, designed in the mid-18th century by the Milanese architect Giuseppe Castiglione for the Qianlong emperor.

Celebrating the quality and diversity of Kertész's long career in photography, this exhibition comprises approximately 55 prints drawn from the Getty's collection that the artist made in Hungary, France, and the United States, where he lived for 40 years. This exhibition is organized chronologically and geographically, beginning in Hungary, where Kertész was born in 1894 and made his first photograph in 1912, then moving to rare small prints made in Paris, where he emigrated in 1925. The final section presents photographs made in New York, where he lived and worked from 1936 until his death in 1985.

The work of Mexico City photographer Graciela Iturbide (b. 1942) is featured in a show of about 140 prints drawn from a combination of sources, including the Getty Museum's holdings, the collection of Daniel Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser, and the artist's own archives. Not strictly a retrospective of the photographer's career, this exhibition highlights Iturbide's work with surviving indigenous communities in southern Mexico (such as the Zapotec Indians of Juchitán and the Mixtec Indians of Huajuapan), outsider immigrant groups in East Los Angeles (like members of the White Fence and Maravilla gangs), and those struggling at La Frontera, the U.S./Mexico border. Concentrating on this international artist's North American pictures, it examines her more recent landscape studies from the American South as well as Mexico, and presents images from Iturbide's native city created almost 40 years.

In Focus: The NudeDaily through February 24, 2008West Pavilion, Terrace Level, Getty Center

The unclothed human figure became a camera subject shortly after the discovery of photography was announced in 1839. From that point forward, artists have been challenged to use a variety of photographic materials and processes to find new ways of picturing the nude. This exhibition, which is drawn exclusively from the Getty Museum's collection of photographs, brings together the work of over 25 innovative photographers who have left their mark on the history of the genre.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi (Italian, 1720–1778) was a student of antiquity, a polemicist and theorist, a cartographer, an architect, a designer of books and decorative arts, a printmaker, and a publisher. While his prolific prints and books provide exhaustive documentation on ancient and modern Rome, they also reveal the original and visionary sides of Piranesi, who readily exaggerated features of Rome's buildings and created views of fantastic architecture, ruins, and antique compositions. Drawing on the Getty Research Institute's strong collection of Piranesi's prints and books, the exhibition presents a synthetic portrait of the extraordinary range of his activities—from the polemics on ancient and modern art to the stylish "advertising" of his wares.
